A number of growth drivers, including an increase in the public's awareness of cleanliness and hygiene, a strong market for cleaning supplies, and rising income levels, have an impact on the cleaning industry's profitable expansion. For instance, the British Cleaning Council (BCC) reports that in the UK, the output of toilet preparation, cleaning and polishing products, scents, and soap and detergents increased by 1.2% in 2021 over 2020. The European Cleaning & Facilities Service Industry (EFCI) Report estimates that the cleaning sector in Europe would generate US$135 billion in revenues in 2020–21, a growth of 8%. Tetrachloromethane or carbon tetrachloride is increasingly being used as a solvent in dry cleaning, cleaning agents, and spot removal due to rising revenue and demand for cleaning goods. This keeps its demand rising and propels the carbon tetrachloride market.

The agricultural business uses carbon tetrachloride extensively in the production of fertilizers, pesticides, and other agricultural chemicals. The agriculture industry is growing profitably as a result of factors like increased production of grains, cereals, and other foods, increased need for fertilizer and pesticides, and government initiatives to support agricultural development. For instance, the agribusiness sector in India is anticipated to grow to US$24 billion by 2025, according to the India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF). The United Kingdom's agricultural output climbed by 2.6% in volume in 2021, with grain production increasing by 23% and crop products by 24%, according to the Office for National Statistics. The demand for carbon tetrachloride is rising due to its increasing use in fertilizer, pesticides, grain fumigation, and other agricultural applications due to the industry's robust production. As a result, the market for carbon tetrachloride is growing and expanding.

Numerous businesses employ carbon tetrabromide for various purposes. As a chemical catalyst in the Appel reaction, carbon tetrabromide transforms alcohols into alkyl bromides. Along with triphenylphosphine, carbon tetrabromide is also utilized in the initial phases of the Corey-Fuchs reaction to convert aldehyde molecules into terminal alkynes. Photochemical compounds are also created using carbon tetrabromide. Additionally, Carbon Tetrabromide is used as an electron acceptor in organic synthesis processes. Carbon Tetrabromide is utilized in industrial settings as a grease, wax, and other industrial oil solvent. The manufacturing of fire-resistant compounds uses carbon tetrabromide as an ingredient because it is neither flammable nor combustible. In the rubber industry, carbon tetrabromide is used as a vulcanizing agent, while in the plastics industry, it is used as a blowing agent. Agrochemicals are also produced using carbon tetrabromide as a chemical intermediary. The market for carbon tetrabromide is therefore anticipated to be driven in the near future by demand from applications in the chemical, industrial, and agrochemical sectors. Thus, driving the Carbon Tetrabromide market revenue.

Carbon Tetrabromide Market Segment Insights

Carbon Tetrabromide Type Insights

The Carbon Tetrabromide market segmentation, based on type, includes carbon tetrabromide powder, carbon tetrabromide granules, and carbon tetrabromide suspension. Carbon tetrabromide suspension segment accounted for the largest revenue share in 2022. One typical component of liquid grain fumigation is carbon tetrachloride. When used as a liquid, this mixture volatilizes and produces the most concentrated vapor for controlling insect infestation in grains that have been kept. As a pesticide, carbon tetrachloride is also utilized to eradicate insects that are present in grain. The use of carbon tetrachloride has decreased because of some health issues.

Carbon Tetrabromide Application Insights

The Carbon Tetrabromide market segmentation, based on application, includes chemical reagent, chemical intermediate, solvent, additive, and others. Chemical reagent segment dominated the Carbon Tetrabromide market in 2022.Tetrachloromethane, often known as carbon tetrachloride, is a chemical intermediate used to make chlorine, agrochemicals, fire extinguishers, fertilizers, insecticides, and other substances. It serves as a solvent in the production of various chemical products, including organic and inorganic compounds. Due to development drivers such rising organic and inorganic chemical production, increased demand for specialized chemicals, and an established chemical manufacturing base, the chemical industry is experiencing profitable expansion. For instance, the American Chemistry Council (ACC) predicts that the output of all chemicals produced in the United States will increase by 1.9% in 2024, while the output of agricultural chemicals will increase by 1.1%. The National Investment Promotion & Facilitation Agency reports that the production of main chemicals increased by 14.09% in India in 2021–22 compared to 2020–21, with inorganic chemicals expanding by 7.5%, pesticides & insecticides growing by 19.51%, and organic chemicals growing by 3.75%. The need for carbon tetrachloride as a chemical feedstock for producing chemicals is expected to increase due to the rising demand for a variety of chemical products and the blossoming consumption of organic & inorganic chemicals and others. Thus, it is projected that it would accelerate the segment's growth in chemical manufacturing during the course of the forecast year.
